Gentiana macrophylla, a medicinal plant with significant pharmacological properties, contains the bioactive compound gentiopicroside. Methyl jasmonate (MeJA) is an effective elicitor for enhancing the production of such compounds. However, little is known about MeJA-mediated biosynthesis of gentiopicroside. We investigated this phenomenon as well as gene expression profiles to determine the mol...

In this paper we consider an initial implementation of a system for managing and using IMS Learning Design (LD) to represent online learning activities. LD has been suggested (Koper & Olivier, 2004) as a flexible way to represent and encode learning materials, especially suited to online and web-based learning while neutral to the pedagogy that is being applied. As such it offers a chance to ad...

Population trends in recent years have prompted most European countries to introduce or expand family support policies. The decline in fertility since the 1970s has led to a substantial decrease in births whose effects may be potentially detrimental over the long term. The number of children per family is often below the desired number reported in surveys. Family support is intended to close th...

This paper aims at presenting an application of algebraic methods in computer assisted composition. We show how a musical problem of construction of rhythmic canons can be formalized algebraically in two equivalent ways: factorization of cyclic groups and products of polynomials. These methods lead to the classification of some musical canons having the property of tiling the time axis (tiling ...

One of the most famous composers of the 20th century, Olivier Messiaen, drew some of his greatest inspirations from birds. Messiaen, a devout Catholic throughout his life, saw birds as perhaps the greatest musicians with abilities that seemed divinely endowed. He studied birds from all around the world and captured some of their magic in the form of musical transcriptions in his work which he c...
